I wanted to update my thread, it has been about a year since taking owner ship of SeaHorse and she is back on the hard for winter. All systems are winterized and shrink wrap will go on any day.
All in all she ran great, I have fixed most of the little stuff needing to be addressed and everything is operational to satisfy my OCD for the moment.
One of the items that needs to be address is the broken through hull fitting for the AC systems, which is stuck in the closed position. As mentioned above the Groco valve service parts are NLA, but I lucked out and found a NOS valve with the parts needed to fix the one in the boat. This makes the repair a 15 min deal. The next big item on my list is the Vacflush system, it basically works however the system has 2 issues, the vacuum pump runs every 45 seconds if the system is left on, and the 2nd is when my wife sits on the bowl it leaks from between the base and the floor. I would assume both issues are related. I will start by removing the toilet, gross!!!!! Additionally I plan I will be updating the stereo, and new faria gauges. I got a used set for free and bought a new set, I have 2 speedometers that I will not be using if anybody wants them.
Other than that there are a couple of bigger project such as the starboard side gunnel panel is rotted where the pressure regulator and deck spigot are. The problem is the entire (very large and heavy looking) helm seat need to be removed to get this panel out for proper repair. We shall see. LOL. I would also like to start recovering some of the interior but this depends on time and money. Besides my wife already has a mile long list of household honey do projects for me. But I just want to play with boats not houses.
Have a great day
